I have a project to do involving sustainable engineering, and I want to relate this to the pros of building high speed rail between major cities.

I was wondering if there are some useful statistics that anyone has found regarding this topic. I'd like to compare the miles of high speed rail we have in the US currently to Europe, and Japan, and perhaps show the outcomes for those countries. Also, does anyone have any statistics showing how our rail system has been decreasing (perhaps in miles) between years?

Thanks for any help you can provide me!
